Snow? We've had massive flooding! We had to take shelter Monday morning due to a tornado touchdown. Google Millersport Ohio tornado and you can see the damage. We were in the direct path and luckily we only lost some shingles but our neighbors were crushed pretty badly. We had no warning and it struck at 6:00 am while it was still dark. Miss Lily was the one who alerted me and I heard the typical train horn. It appears we're the tornado belt of Ohio as I've witnessed many of them over the years.

I'm originally from Ravenswood WVA. You can't get any more rural than that. It's so small that you can't even Google it....lol

I just found it, it's ~30 mi. south of Parkersburg on the Ohio River. I have good family friends in Belpre so I am familiar with the area, and my father is from Huntington. There are worse areas of West Virginia

It's absolutely a great place. My family lives throughout those parts. Most live in an even smaller town, Portland Ohio which is right across the river. There aren't a lot of job opportunities in the area. For years, Kaiser was the primary employer and once they closed, most people were forced to move away. I'd be back there in a minute if I could. What's really strange is that they have one of the funnest gay bars I've been to in my life. I'll save the stories of my teenage barn parties for another day.

just kicking back in Texas here. I'm a little modernized though as I have changed my cowboy boots for hiking bots and I don't throw bales of hay to the horses on a cold winter morning anymore since Mom sold the ranch. ...I do tend to throw my weight around the house though

Oh come on Joel! The gun rack is great for attaching handcuffs to.... And the confederate flag is good for wiping your dick on when you're done cornholin' 'em.

Dennis- The Ranger is one of the few Official Vehicles of The East Mountains. They're tough and will run forever. My neighbor has one that he beats the shit out of every day, 297,000 miles on the clock and it keeps on going. Engine has never been apart. If I could fit in one comfortably, I might consider one. That's why I drive an AMC Eagle It too will never die... I hope

The RICH FORD service manager wanted to buy it for $5,000 after he found out that it was still in presteen condition, but I told him, that it sits in the driveway most of the time, but he still wanted to buy it, he said"when you get ready to trade that ranger in on something new, Please come and see me" however I declined his offer and said no thanks, I'll just keep what I got

Edited to add: it's got a new transmission (re-built in 2007) I've done everything in the book, that it says to do, and it runs great, and passes the smog every yr. and the tags are only 50 bucks a yr.

Don't let Joel fool you -- he comes from a line of elitist college professors transplanted to the South. I'm the one who had the grandparents that owned a tobacco farm that was run like a Virginia plantation, and knows how to cook a salt-cured country ham.

Got me to thinking about some of the conversations with my cousins and such from down home. We were all partying a few ago and I used the word "an thesis" and my cousin froze stone cold in the middle of hitting his bowl while most of the other turned into zombies staring at me. Luckily, I had another cousin there who graduated from Purdue and I asked if I said something wrong. He said; "nope, you used a 4 syllable word".

Welcome to New Mexico dude. Even a two syllable word can garner that look around here...
